Caroline Kepnes is an American author who became a household name thanks to her You series, which follows bookstore clerk and obsessive stalker Joe Goldberg. The first novel, published in 2014, caught fire when Netflix turned it into a hit television series starring Penn Badgley. Kepnes has continued Joe’s story across multiple sequels, with You First arriving in 2026.
Beyond the You books, Kepnes has written across several other formats. Her standalone novel Providence (2018) is a genre-blending story of its own, while the Out of Line series collects shorter fiction and novellas. The Never Tell Collection (2024) is a set of six short stories, and she has contributed to multiple horror anthologies. Her earliest published work, Stephen Crane (2004), is a work of literary criticism in the Classic StoryTellers series. Altogether, her catalog runs to 31 titles across six distinct series.
